#184927 - reset circuit
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The weakness of RC reset is that it does not unconditionally provide a clean pulse. The button may be bouncing and the RC reset may be unadequate to capture the bounces and provide a clean reset. And as the bouncing has mechanical causes, this may change in time.

I assume you are not prepared to replace the RC reset by a proper reset IC, such as the venerable 7705, which would probably be a definitive solution. You can try to experiment with the values of R and C (e.g. removing the R altogether - there is builtin R of around 100kOhm anyway), but there's no guarantee this will definitively help.
